Sport is no longer confined to proverb like “all work no play makes Jack a dull boy” rather it’s a tool to extend international diplomacy, showcasing economic might and maintain youth culture in the society. Common Wealth Games 2010 put India in the same League of Nations capable of organizing mega sporting events showcasing their economic muscle power.

Library Faculty & Staff Presentations

Copyright law does not change often; the technology that allows us to use copyrighted works changes all the time. Faculty often assume fair use covers all use of copyrighted material in their classes (both face to face and online) and they become confused and frustrated when they learn of limitations in the electronic environment. Students rarely think about copyright; they are generally unaware of how their actions might infringe the rights of copyright holders or that they themselves might hold these rights in their own works. Librarians have traditionally had some copyright knowledge – after all copyright notices have been part ...

Presentation from the American Association of Law Libraries 103rd Annual Meeting and Conference.

In 1990, not many people understood the impact that the Internet, email, and PowerPoint would have on our law schools by 2000. In 2000, who knew that in 2010 law schools would need to create Facebook pages, LinkedIn groups, and Twitter feeds? In this panel, Debbie Ginsberg, Emily Barney, and Sejal Vaishnev discuss three visions of law school technology in 2020: in the classroom, on the web, and in our technology administration centers.

Authentic Authorship, Alina Ng

Alina Ng

Copyright laws protect original works of authorship, but ownership rights in literary and artistic works need not necessarily reside with the author or creator of the work. By statutory provision, the copyright owner, and not the author, possesses the exclusive rights to control the reproduction, distribution, public performances, and the making of derivatives. It is interesting to note the apparent disconnect between the exclusive rights protecting the subject matter of authorship and the author, as the creator, of a work of authorship. This disconnect is, arguably, attributable to the influence of law and economics, and American legal realism, on copyright ...
